Pastel Flourishes

Here we go into another week, and I start it with a card for two challenges

First is CAS Colours and Sketches
with this sketch,

and secondly, Pals Paper Arts with
these lovely colours



Here is my card

I am waiting for my SU delivery of the new colours, so I've used the nearest markers I have. I randomly stamped one flourish on some white card for the panel and edged it with some green card cut with decorative scissors. I then stamped another flourish and cut it with a Nestie before placing it on 3D pads. I added a butterfly and gems, and finished off with a sentiment.

Supplies :

Card = Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, and white base FMS

Stamps = Flowering Flourishes and Docrafts

Inks = Black, Pool Party, Blushing Bride, and Certainly Celery

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Elegant and Bitty Butterfly Punches, and Fiskars Scissors

Extras = 3D Pads and Gems

Sunset Silhouettes

Today my card is for five challenges

First is Try Stampin' on Tuesday with this sketch,

secondly is Less is More with this photo for colour inspirations,

third is Make My Monday who want
  SILHOUETTES

fourth is Stampin' Royalty who want us to USE SMALL SCRAPS

and lastly, but no means least, Addicted to Stamps want us to MAKE YOUR MARK using markers.

Here is my card

I started by sponging four colours across a circle of white card with a Post It note masking where the sun would be. (I scribble my SU Write Markers onto my acrylic block to make it easier to pick up the ink with a sponge). The mask was removed and the silhouette flowers and birds were stamped over the sponged sunset. This was mounted on a recycled brown scallop circle, and scraps of cards made into the banners and butterfly. The finishing touches were the sentiment and gem on the butterfly body.

Supplies :

Card = Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White, and Ivory base FMS

Stamps = Upsy Daisy, Papillon Potpourri, Clarity, and Docrafts

Inks = Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Apricot Appeal, Sahara Sand, and Soft Suede

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Post It, Sponges, Elegant and Bitty Butterfly Punches

Extras = 3D Pads and Gems

I have enjoyed playing about today, with my brayer and sponges, to make the sunset sky, but I preferred the sponging result ( I cant show you the brayered result as it's on the reverse of the sponged sky, and I forgot to photograph it before sticking it down!)

Thanks for dropping by and hope you can call back again soon.

Bye for now

Simply Thanks So Much!

My card today is for two challenges

First, is Clean and Simple with this sketch (# 251),

and then these colours are from

CAS Colours and Sketches

This is it

                                                          

I cut some pink card with fancy scissors and laid it at the top of a white base. The stamped sentiment was positioned on 3D pads, and topped with the green frame, pink flowers and grey butterfly. I added some gems to the flower centre, and pearls to the butterfly body.

I've made it for my friend, Pat, whose 70th birthday was last Friday, and we all went out for lunch on Sunday as her treat, and Barrie her husband treated me as well!!, so I thought I'd say Thanks with this card.

Supplies :

Card = Melon Mambo, Whisper White, white base and grey card FMS

Stamps = Everything Eleanor, Papillon Potpourri, and 

Inks = Melon Mambo, Old Olive, and Basic Grey

Tools = Fiskars Scissors and Elegant Butterfly Punch

Extras = 3D Pads, Gems and Pearls

I've not been too good after my treatment last week, and my mojo seems to have left me again. I went to my friend, Jacqueline's house, this morning to craft, but it took me several hours to come up with this CAS card. I really struggled, while she and Louise made loads of things. Fingers crossed that my creativity returns soon.

My friend Pat, is crazy for anything that is Scottie Dog related, so I made her this tissue box and matching  pop-up card for her birthday, which she said she really loved

The inside has the large dog from the sides of the box, and the little dog from the top of the box and card front, wearing a little pink bow.

I'm off to lie down now, as I've spent 3 hours doing the gardening since I got home, and my joints are screaming with pain. Thanks for dropping by, and I hopem to see you soon
